 Those who are interested in Egyptian culture with its so advanced level by Egyptian architects, can take the Optional excursion to the temples of ABU SIMBUL very early. Abu Simbel is a site of archaeological interest consisting of Egyptian temples located in Nubia, southern Egypt. It is located on the western shore of Lake Nasser, about 280 km southwest of Aswan, close to its original site. The temples are part of the Open Air Museum of Nubia and Aswan, a complex that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979 under the name "Nubian Monuments", which extends to File, near Aswan. The temples were carved into the rock during the reign of Pharaoh Ramses II in the 13th century BC. C., as a monument dedicated to said pharaoh and his wife Nefertari, to commemorate his supposed victory in the battle of Kadesh and show his power to his Nubian neighbors. In 1968, the complex was relocated to an artificial hill, built on nearby land above the level of the future Lake Nasser. The transfer of the temples was necessary to prevent them from being submerged, after the construction of the Aswan High Dam, by the reservoir formed by the waters of the Nile River. Abu Simbel remains one of the most important tourist attractions in Egypt.
